Our work includes an investigative survey, drawings and documentation to repair the masonry, address roof leaks, and repair or replace the existing exterior fire escape. We honor the materials and assemblies that have worked well over the past 106 years and pinpoint the repairs necessary to keep them in excellent working order. The resulting solutions uphold the standards of the Secretary of Interiors and when complete, will give the City of Dubuque a project to be proud of for many more years to come.
The rehabilitation of this centerpiece of downtown Dubuque focuses on understanding the causes, not symptoms, of building deterioration.
